Coach Talk
The mystery machine
Hey, we admire the confidence, The mystery machine. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (A.J. Green and Derrick Henry), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Gridiron Gladiators
Hey, Gridiron Gladiators, did your receiving crew talk bad about their offensive coordinators or something? Accumulating just 13 total targets this past week, our three wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
